Bastion

Bastion was an eminent electronic music group from Skopje, Republic of Macedonia, notable for its member Kiril Džajkovski, who later rose to international prominence as a solo musician, DJ and a composer of the soundtrack album for Milčo Mančevski's movie Dust. The trio was formed in 1983 in Skopje, then SR Macedonia. The line up consisted of: Ana Kostovska, Kiril Džajkovski and Ljubomir Stojsavljević. The author of their lyrics was the internationally acclaimed film director Milčo Mančevski, at that time a correspondent of the magazines Džuboks and Zdravo from New York City. He was also a director of their music video for the song Hot day in Mexico. The group recorded several songs in Macedonian language for the music production of the national Radio-Television Skopje. They released their debut self-titled album in 1984. Most of the songs on the record, which was released for PGP-RTB from Belgrade are in Serbo-Croat, because it was the most widespreaded language in the former Yugoslav federal market. After they disbanded, Džajkovski started to work with the prominent Macedonian rock band Leb i sol and played on their albums Kao Kakao and Putujemo.
